Description

When CoverageJSON was approved and published as an OGC Community standard in 2023, the media type was agreed to be
application/vnd.cov+json instead of the original application/prs.coverage+json.

It was also agreed that the media type would eventually move to being registered with IANA as application/cov+json.
